Graduates from an institution where English was not the language of instruction must arrange to send all academic records (i.e. transcripts and degree certificates) accompanied by certified English language translations to the Robert H. Lee Graduate School.

If your institution is able to provide translated academic records in English, please have them sent to the Robert H. Lee Graduate School, in envelopes sealed and endorsed by your institution. All translations must be a literal translation of the original document. Do not open this envelope.

If your university is unable to provide translated academic records in English, you must do the following:

Arrange to have the original language documents translated by a Certified English translator.

Make a photocopy of your original language transcripts and degree certificates, if required.

Take the photocopy to a Certified English Translator and ask them to provide a complete, word-by-word, literal English translation, endorsing the translation with their numbered seal.

Ask the translator to put both the original language transcript and degree certificate photocopies and the literal English translations into a sealed envelope and endorse the envelope by stamping their numbered seal/stamp across the sealed envelope. Without opening the envelope, submit the translations in the sealed, endorsed envelope to the Robert H. Lee Graduate School.

Submit your original language official transcripts, and degree certificate if required, in sealed, endorsed envelopes from your home university to the Robert H. Lee Graduate School - do not open this envelope.

International Tuition + Fees

The cost of living can vary greatly depending on your lifestyle, budget and spending habits, but these estimated costs of living in Vancouver while in the UBC MM program should give you a general idea. Note that all expenses are in Canadian dollars (CAD).

These are mandatory fees for students of the University of British Columbia. Students will receive a U-PASS, allowing all students unmitigated access to Vancouver’s transit system, and AMS Extended Health Insurance, which will cover the duration of their time in the program.

This is a student-levied fee which all UBC Sauder students pay, and passed through student referendum to finance the renovation of the Henry Angus Building. The full amount is taken at the same time as the first tuition installment on September 1st.

This provides international students with basic health insurance for the first 3 months of their time in the UBC MBA program. This also includes a $9 billing charge.

Commonly known as MSP, the Medical Service Plan insures medically required services provided by physicians and supplementary health care practitioners and diagnostic procedures. More information can be found here.

This figure is calculated based on the average for a one-bedroom apartment off-campus. Rent will vary depending on location and condition of the accommodation.
